Maybe because News Corp (just like Comcast/Disney/Time Warner) cares more about profitability than any sort of journalism or ideology?

Donald Trump is a stupid man's idea of a smart man, a poor man's idea of a rich man, and a weak man's idea of a strong man.

It's not ideology, it's competition. Does Verizon accept ads on its cell phones from att mobile?

If you go to a Buick dealer, would you be surprised to find ads for Toyota in the showroom?

It's capitalism.
It's competition.

Libs don't get it.

Verizon selling ads to AT&T is a bit different than Fox News selling ads to Al Jazeera. But you knew that.

The other possibility is that it was a local ad run by your cable company and Fox News doesn't have any control over it.

I dont know, what would your answer be if it were MSNBC, oakton? Clearly the terrorists have won and taken over both liberal and conservative media. Hope your bomb shelter is nearing completion...

Wouldn't it be more like ads for The Key Play showing up on TSL? I don't think TSL and the Sabre are going after the same market. In fact, aren't they part of the same company?
